Congratulations! Your partner has popped the question and you said yes. Now it’s time to plan your engagement party and make sure that it is a day to remember for everyone involved. Here are some of the things you need to know before planning an engagement party.
Choosing a Venue
Once you have your wedding date set, it’s time to find the perfect venue for your engagement party. Consider the size of your guest list when selecting the venue, as well as any special requirements that you may have such as catering or extra seating. If you choose an outdoor location, be sure to check with local authorities on any permits that may be required in order to host a gathering at that location.
Inviting Your Guests
When inviting guests, consider who is important in both of your lives and who will likely be invited to the wedding itself. Depending on how formal or casual your engagement party will be, you can either handwrite invitations or send out digital versions through email or social media platforms. Make sure that invitations are sent out early enough so that people have enough time to RSVP and prepare for the event.
Organizing Entertainment
Entertainment is an important part of any celebration, so make sure to organize something special for your guests at the engagement party. Even if it's just a playlist of music playing in the background, having something going on will help keep everyone engaged throughout the evening and add some extra sparkle to your special day. If budget allows, consider hiring a professional entertainer or band who can provide live music for everyone during the event.
Conclusion
An engagement party is one of those once-in-a-lifetime occasions that should be celebrated with family and friends - so don't forget to enjoy yourself when planning! With these tips in mind, you'll be sure to throw a memorable celebration that all of your guests will enjoy - and talk about for years afterward!
